Love Frame For Sarmila
CHAPTER 156

“No one can know on earth where he will die. Verily Allah is All-Knowing, All-Knowing” (QS. Naomi [31]: 34).

****

No one knows when death will come. Even the healthy ones do not rule out the possibility of coming to the angel of death because the time has come. Death is a sure thing that happens and cannot be known or avoided by anyone.

The angel who takes human life is the angel izrail. No one knows when this angel of Izrail will take a human life.

The atmosphere at the residence of Diana's mother is already crowded in visiting relatives. Including Rubiah's mother and her men from Umi Bia restaurant. Meanwhile Danu and several large families of mama Diana have taken care of Ammar's body. All seemed busy holding a tahlilan event to welcome Ammar's body.

Ando was still in the room crying over the fate of his brother. Ammar was forced to marry Vika because Diana's mother threatened to kill herself if she did not comply. Several times she found her brother crying in the room hugging a photo of Mila. At that time Ando was still thinking about his mother. For accusing Mila who did not want to be invited to fight with Ammar.

And now he's the one who's crying while hugging the big brother's picture. Ando knows that Ammar used to bring a motorcycle to meet Mila, saying goodbye because he was going to marry Vika. But in fact, Mila came with a man. The man she believed in was Danu. Ando who was then urged to replace Ammar. Because she has Dini whom she has been dating for a long time.

"Why go leave me. Now I have no one else. Bang, I hope it's just prank, wake up bang!"

"Do," a voice from behind the door.

"Do, Makwo knows how you feel. But you are currently the host, already many guests have come. Greet them. All who come to pray for Ammar." persuaded Makwo Rubiah. Ando immediately hugged Makwonya. His body trembled violently, not expecting the end of his brother's life to be like this.

"Nobody knows it's coming, Do. If God has willed we can do nothing." Rubiah is still trying to calm his nephew.

Their conversation was interrupted when Rubiah received a call from Danu. They were speaking so they could hear the news that Danu was telling.

"Assalamualaikum, Mum. We're on our way." Danu's voice rattled wet. Bia has not been able to explain to Danu that Ammar donated the spinal cord. Because it was a request from Ammar.

"Let it be the charity that I bring with me" said Ammar.

"Makwo also did not expect that the age limit of Ammar to this extent. Makwo ate the words of your mother who blamed Mila at that time. To the point of getting carried away when they found out that Makwo's son was married to Mila. But Ammar still defended Mila desperately when I tried to incite Danu. That's what Makwo feels to death Ammar's love is still for Mila."

"This is a letter from the Ammar bang to Mila's sister" Ando said. "Can Makwo give it to Mila? Brother Danu said, sister Mila has not been able to leave the house because it has not been 40 days."

"Letter?" Ando nodded small.

"Makwo I'm ready first. Bang Ammar arrived." Ando got out of bed. Then enter the bathroom to clean yourself.

Rubiah saw so many neighbors coming in and out. He was really impressed by their positive response. As Bia knew, Diana rarely mingled with neighbors. Maybe Ammar has a good side in their eyes. Moreover, Ando is very active in every complex activity.

Minah, you work at that hospital. Ammar is sick what the hell to be treated there." asked Bu Ijah.

"I just found out that Ammar's brother is being treated. As long as I was there I never saw his family pacing back and forth. But maybe it's not my part." Minah explained.

"Well, is it different?"

"There are some rooms that have sisters on duty. I'm in the Cambodian room. So if for the Cambodian cluster I hapal. Outside, I don't know."

"Oooooo." replied the mothers who huddled in the front room.

"You're not calm, you're huddled." protested Ms. Nining.

The sound of an ambulance was heard entering the courtyard of the Citarum housing complex. Everyone in Diana's residence stood up to welcome the arrival of Ammar's body. The health worker got out of the car and opened the back door. Danu looks down followed by Rudi and Anjas. There was a Fera that was exposed by Sarah. Women are still reeling from the death of Ammar.

The corpse carrying Ammar came down. Keranda is ready to be brought to the mosque to be sholatan. Ando greeted his brother with tears. The emir and some relatives calmed Ando down, as the young man hugged his brother's coffin.

"Do, Istighfar! Release Ammar, he's leaving quietly." persuaded Emir.

They told Ando who felt bad for the effects of Ammar's departure.

"Mas Ando is patient, yes. May Ammar be received by Allah." One of the mourners told Ando.

Ando just fell silent. He needs someone to strengthen himself.

"Abang, home bang. Don't give me a hand, bang." Sobs ando when all the guests are home.

Ando opened the box that Ammar left. When he will return to Indonesia because Makwo Rubiah does not help.

"If there is anything with you. Please give this letter to them."

"What the hell is that talking about?"

"This is my brother's will."

Ando brought some of Ammar's letters and belongings. Plans will be donated to those who need more.

There are 3 letters, to Mila, to Danu and to Vika.

POV Mila

Sarmila Dear

You remember the first time my chest shook at you

You remember the first time I was afraid of losing you

You remember when I proposed to you

It was you when I made you cry because I hurt you

The one I remember the first time your slap made my chest shake

It was also what made me follow you to Lampung

Yes, originally because of Vika's insistence to approach you

And that's also what made me forget how I felt about Vika.

When you were angry about our engagement, I felt like you had more right to fight than Vika

But I also can't do anything about my mother's threat of suicide if I choose you.

I also tried to forget our memories, and get closer to Vika, but nil because my love is stronger for you

I also tried to pick you up on the eve of our wedding day, but Ando and Mama followed me from behind, as I searched for a shortcut the accident happened.

and I understood when your family introduced Danu as your candidate.

Do you know...

To this day my race is still on you

Yaaaa ....

Even though I know you always you always say we're best friends.

Ya

Even though I know you're trying to forget our memories

I know I've been so bad talking to you

But there's no denying I still love you.

I closed the letter Ando gave me. I apologize to Ando for not being able to attend Amar's funeral. I'm sure Amar over there will understand.

"No idea, yeah. Amar ends up like this." Said Eva accompanying me at home.

Rubiah's mother came to deliver me a letter. He said Ammar was buried. Fera even fainted to see Ammar put in a burrow.

"Stupid, death, and sustenance are already ngatur. Poor Ando he has no one else." I told Eva.

"You are strong, yes. There's been a lot of trials you've been through." Eva embraces her best friend.

"But, Mila. What I wonder is why Fera's down so?"

"Fera rejected Ammar's proposal when they were together in Lampung. But Ammar again invited him to marry again at the same time Fera refused. And maybe .. maybe Lo, Fera feels guilty for what she did to Ammar." I guess.

"Maybe Fera knew that she accepted Ammar would not be happy" Eva said.

"Why do you assume that?"

"So in the letter we read Ammar said he still loves you, Mila. It's a sign that she's still alive and married to Fera, who Fera is fighting for is not Ammar."

"But who knows that love can grow with time. Like me and Danu, though I used to accept Danu in hopes of forgetting Ammar. I can actually get through it."

Goodbye Ammar, may your worship be received by Allah.
